My golf game

[Fat Strat]

Since then I've been hitting tons of fairways and have actually seen a big increase in my driving distance, probably from hitting the sweet spot much more consistently. I was never very long to begin with, usually in the 230-240 range even when hitting the fairway, but now I'm hitting consistently in the 250-260 range and occasionally getting up in the 290-300 area. Letting go of the ego actually ended up boosting it.

I've been working on the same thing! I haven't cut my driver shaft down yet, but I have choked down, offset my clubface a little to cut down on the slice, and slowed down. The offset has made the biggest difference, giving me a solid, straight ball flight and avg'ing right at 250. I have noticed that I'm not getting the big hit very often -- I had been known to hit it around 300 when I made pure contact (about once a round) -- but it's made my driver all around much more consistent. In the 9 hole league on Monday I hit driver 4 times, found the fairway 3 of the four.

Going to play my 1st nine after work today. Have not even picked up a club in nearly a year. Having three young children is great for the soal and horrible for the golf game. Used to play three times a week.

my shoulder is better and I've been playing again the last two weeks, catching back up to where I was before the injury.

Well, after today I guess I'm caught up and then some. Shot a 75, first time I've ever even broken 80. 39 on the front and 36 on the back. I didn't even realize it until I added everything up at the end of the round, which probably helped keep that back 9 score good. I knew I was playing well and had a couple of birdies, thought I might be around 80 but the 75 kinda shocked me.

Last week I cut down my driver shaft from the standard 45" to 44" after doing some experimenting with choking up on my tee shots. Since then I've been hitting tons of fairways and have actually seen a big increase in my driving distance, probably from hitting the sweet spot much more consistently. I was never very long to begin with, usually in the 230-240 range even when hitting the fairway, but now I'm hitting consistently in the 250-260 range and occasionally getting up in the 290-300 area. Letting go of the ego actually ended up boosting it.

I play again Friday afternoon. I expect to shoot 90+ and miss every fairway.

That's golf.

that's why my expectations are low. I've had too many times where I've shot well and gone into my next round over confident only to shoot 10 strokes higher.

It looks like I may get to try to squeeze 18 in this afternoon after 3.

This thread is making me mad again that some [expletive] broke into my truck and stole my Taylormades...

[clevername]

that certainly does suck...but it does give you an excuse to go out and buy all new clubs .

lol can't afford that. I got these clubs because I did some digital art work for a guy that couldn't pay up

So you busted his knee caps and took his clubs. Nice work, my man.

Not quite, I showed up at his door and said, "Give me the money or something of equal value." and left with a full set of Taylormades probably worth more than the amount of money he owed me.

I would gladly feel the anger and frustration of shooting in the 90s if I could just get out and play.
